Friends

Martin giving Gabi a ride on the airplane.
This airplane has a foot pedal to make it go,
but it's more fun to have friends push you around.

Terrific Thursday
The city of Decatur hosts Terrific Thursdays in December leading up to Christmas. All the shops stay open late, and there are fun activities on the square, including a bonfire marshmallow roast, a visit from Santa, and a clown marching band. We went to the Little Shop of Stories for pajama story time and a harpist concert.

Gabi listening to the pan pipes.


Gabi loves this music!


Because she was dancing to their songs,
the musicians invited Gabi to play percussion along with them.

"Holes!"
Gabi told the woodwind player that his recorder has holes in it.
